The Fussy Little Chef Takes the Entertainment World by Storm

[Main Story Complete, Bonus Chapters Updating...] Imperial chef Shen Yuyu transmigrated into a book as an obscure, troublemaking cannon-fodder character. While other people who transmigrated into books became wealthy stepmothers or entered contract marriages, she couldn't even afford rent. As for fame, she had nothing but antis. As for family connections, she had a bunch of poor relatives. Thinking of the countless palace servants she'd once commanded and the endless ingredients at her disposal... Shen Yuyu: ...If you're going to kill me, don't use poverty as the weapon! Thanks. - A washed-up celebrity joined a variety show set in the countryside. She was pretty, but had zero social skills. While everyone else worked hard in the fields, she stood by cracking melon seeds and watching the show. While the others learned to cook from the village's old chef, she lowered her eyes and complained about this and that... Her fans: Can Shen Yuyu just get lost? If she doesn't, I'm done watching! The other guests disliked her too and kept their distance. Everyone was waiting for her to pack up and go home once she couldn't take the hardship. But as time passed, they ended up watching her become a huge star. - A CEO who had invested in the show felt unwell. Shen Yuyu's silky steamed egg custard soothed his stomach. He was ready to offer her resources and even put up with a fake couple pairing for publicity. But Shen Yuyu pulled out her phone and earnestly opened her payment code. "It wasn't easy for that hen to lay an egg. That's a thousand yuan. WeChat Pay or Alipay?" The CEO: "???" A newly debuted pop idol worried that she'd gain weight if she ate even one more bite. Shen Yuyu's delicious salads helped her keep her figure. She was willing to follow Shen Yuyu around to get her more screen time, but Shen Yuyu mysteriously pulled her aside. "I'm opening a restaurant. You can advertise it for me for free." The pop idol: "..." So that's why you've been nice to me?! There's also a famous director known for being a devoted dad. He once sternly warned Shen Yuyu to stay away from the stove, but now whenever he sees her, he wants to shove a spatula into her hands. For a bite of her cooking, he'd even try to bribe her with a role! Watching one teammate after another on their side fall for her... The fans: I'm speechless. It's so embarrassing to like them. But why can't we stop watching Shen Yuyu either?! Not long after, the fans discovered that Shen Yuyu had opened a restaurant. The fans: Oh, wow! - Gu Qianyu came from a reclusive family. He had a sweet-looking face, but was ruthless and merciless in everything he did. The people around him fawned over him on the surface, while secretly fearing him. Then one day, Gu Qianyu suddenly developed an aversion to food. Famous doctors couldn't help him, and even ingredients worth a fortune were useless. Eventually, he simply disappeared. A group of people were frantic with worry. After searching desperately, they finally found their precious young master at a night market. Before they could approach, a pretty young woman hurried over, pushing a street-food cart. The instant Gu Qianyu saw her, his icy expression melted, and his grievances spilled out. "You left me and ran off." The young woman soothed him softly. "If the city inspectors catch me, I'll get fined. How can I take care of you if I have no money?" Gu Qianyu frowned and hopped onto her cart. "Then take me with you next time." The people who had suffered under Gu Qianyu stared in stunned disbelief. No, that definitely wasn't their young master. Coming soon: The Cannon-Fodder Daughter in the Stepmother Novel Is Reborn. Please add it to your reading list! Blurb Jing Yunchu was reborn. In her previous life, consumed by resentment, she was convinced that her parents' divorce and broken family were the fault of her stepmother and two stepbrothers. She destroyed the film and television career her stepmother was proud of, drove her eldest stepbrother's company, built from nothing, into bankruptcy and ruined his reputation, and caused her second stepbrother, who should have become a leading scholar, to be condemned by everyone and left in disgrace through her false accusations. She thought this would repair her parents' relationship, but after dying in a car accident, she saw an even more devastating truth. Her stepmother's family had truly treated her as one of their own. Meanwhile, after her death, her birth mother and younger brother mocked and insulted her without mercy, not shedding a single tear for her. Given another chance, Jing Yunchu would not repeat her mistakes. Jiang Huaiqing had a dream. In it, his stepsister, who never gave them the time of day, committed every evil and brought their family to ruin. To prevent the dream from coming true, he hurried home, only to find Jing Yunchu acting completely unlike her usual arrogant, overbearing self. She sweetly held his mother's hand and said, "Mom, I love you. A child with a mom is a precious treasure. Mwah!" Jiang Huaiqing: "??" Have my eyes gone deaf? Look again. Jiang Huaiqing kept Jing Yunchu on guard, but couldn't stop her from bringing one excellent opportunity after another to his mother. The once-forgotten actress became a star again in just two years, making the wealthy wives of high society jealous. She also poured money into a laboratory and cleared every obstacle for his younger brother, letting him focus on research. He published several extraordinarily challenging papers and became a highly sought-after rising star in academia. Even the office building of Jiang Huaiqing's own company grew taller and bigger thanks to Jing Yunchu's help... Damn it! To hell with that precognitive dream. She's obviously my sister, even if we don't share either parent! * Everyone in their social circle knew Jing Yunchu was arrogant and looked down on people, and that she still acted like a rich heiress while clinging to the shaky entertainment company her father owned. They all watched coldly as she made trouble, hoping she'd eventually land herself in jail. Then one day, Jing Yunchu appeared on the Forbes Rich List... Everyone's jaws hit the floor. No way! It has to be fake! Extra scene: Jiang Huaiqing had a sworn enemy he'd known since childhood, the kind of guy who'd throw a rock back if Jiang threw mud at him. Jiang Huaiqing had dreamed of beating Jian Shisui just once. But during a business rivalry, the man merely nodded at him warmly and said, "I'll let you win this time, bro." Jiang Huaiqing: "?" Who are you calling bro? I'm your uncle! (Furious) A month later, he happened to spot a couple passionately kissing in an empty alley. Jiang Huaiqing charged over on the spot and delivered a flying kick. "You dare try to steal someone from our family? Are you tired of living?!" Theme: Work hard and take charge of your own life.
